Synopsis

Excerpt from Direct-Current Machinery: A Text-Book on the Theory and Performance of Generators and Motors

Although but few graduates in electrical engineering ever have occasion to design a generator or a motor, the majority of them, at some time in their careers, will be called upon to operate or test such machines, or to pass upon their suitability for a particular service. The greater part of this book is therefore devoted to the performance, application, and testing of the various types of direct-current generators and motors.

The graphical method, given in Chapters VI and VII, for determining the performance characteristics of generators and motors, was developed by the author several years ago, with the assistance of Mr. H. R. West. This method, although in its simple form only approximate, brings out in a readily understood manner, the dependence of the performance of the machine upon the nature of its electric and magnetic circuits.

In the chapter on Commutation the attempt has been made to treat this subject in an understandable, and yet rigorous, manner. The nature of the effects produced by the various factors involved.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
